Streptococcal Bacteremia and Toxic Shock Syndrome: A Rare Etiology Requiring Prompt Diagnosis.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Bullous impetigo leading to streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS) immune activation and massive cytokine release is a rare condition. It has a significant mortality rate, which calls for quick diagnosis, early suspicion, and integrated treatment. Herein, we discuss the case of a 66-year-old man who underwent evaluation for leg swelling before quickly going into shock and experiencing respiratory failure, which necessitated invasive mechanical intubation.
